Minbyauk Thihapate (Burmese: မင်းပြောက် သီဟပတေ့ [mɪ́ɴbjaʊʔ θìha̰pətḛ]; 1309–1364) was the last king of Sagaing, who reigned from 1352 to 1364. His claim to the throne was that he was married to Soe Min Kodawgyi, the daughter of Sawyun, founder of the kingdom.[2][1]
Although a Shan chief himself, the last five years of his reign (1359–1364) were beset by repeated Shan raids from the north, principally from the Shan princely state of Mogaung.[3] In the early 1360s, the king appointed his stepson Thadominbya (Sawyun's grandson) as governor of Tagaung at the border of Shan realm to stop the Shan raids. In 1364, Mogaung in alliance with Sagaing's cross-river rival Pinya Kingdom attacked Sagaing's territories though in actuality Mogaung did most of the fighting. Mogaung's Shan raiders overran Tagaung and Thadominbya escaped with great difficulty. Minbyauk sent Thadominbya to prison for Thadominbya's failure to defend Tagaung. But Minbyauk himself fled Sagaing when the city was overrun by Mogaung forces. After Mogaung raiders left Sagaing, the people of Sagaing rallied around Thadominbya, who put Minbyauk to death in April 1364 (Kason 726 ME).[1]
Notes
- ↑ Hmannan Yazawin's reported date of his accession per (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 392) is 12 February 1353 (Thursday, 9th waxing of Tabaung 714 ME). However, 12 February 1353 was a Tuesday, not a Thursday. The 1353 date is inconsistent with Hmannan's own reporting a page later that he was dethroned in his 13th year of reign in April 1364 (Kason 726 ME). It means he came to power in 1352, not 1353. The actual date was a year earlier: (Thursday, 9th waxing of Tabaung 713 ME) or 23 February 1352, which was indeed a Thursday. (Than Tun 1959: 127) also gives 23 February 1352.
- ↑ Zatadawbon Yazawin (Zata 1960: 82) says he was born on Monday, 10th day of 8th month of 667 ME (Wednesday, 29 September 1305) and died at age 58 (59th year). But Hmannan Yazawin (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 392–393) says he was born on a Saturday and that he died at age 54 (55th year), meaning he was born in 671 ME.
